The water level of river is below normal levels. It's water level is 1 1/2 meters below sea level. During the summer the river drops another 2 1/3 meters below sea level. What is the water level at the end of the summer
To find the water level at the end of the summer, we need to subtract the 2 1/3 meters that the river dropped from its already below normal level of 1 1/2 meters below sea level.
First, we need to convert the mixed number 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:
1 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
Next, we need to convert the mixed number 2 1/3 to an improper fraction:
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1)/3 = 7/3
Now, we can subtract the two fractions to find the final water level:
3/2 - 7/3 = (3 * 3 - 2 * 7)/(2 * 3) = (9 - 14)/6 = -5/6
Therefore, the water level at the end of the summer is 5/6 meters below sea level.
The initial water level of the river is 1 1/2 meters below sea level. During the summer, it drops another 2 1/3 meters below sea level.
To find the final water level at the end of the summer, we need to add the two measurements.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
1 1/2 = (2/2 + 1/2) = 3/2
2 1/3 = (3/3 + 1/3) = 7/3
Now, we can add the two fractions:
(3/2) + (7/3)
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.
(3/2) × (3/3) = 9/6
(7/3) × (2/2) = 14/6
Now, we can add the fractions:
(9/6) + (14/6)
= (9 + 14)/6
= 23/6
The final water level at the end of the summer is 23/6 meters below sea level.
To find the water level at the end of the summer, we need to add the drop in water level during the summer to the initial water level.
Given that the water level of the river is 1 1/2 meters below sea level, and during the summer it drops another 2 1/3 meters below sea level, we first need to convert the fractions into a common denominator.
The fraction 1 1/2 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:
1 1/2 = (2/2) + 1/2 = 3/2
Similarly, the fraction 2 1/3 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:
2 1/3 = (7/3) + 1/3 = 8/3
Now, we add the two fractions together:
3/2 - initial water level below sea level
8/3 - drop in water level during summer below sea level
To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which is 6 in this case:
(3/2) x (3/3) = 9/6
(8/3) x (2/2) = 16/6
Now, we can add the fractions:
9/6 + 16/6 = 25/6
So, the water level of the river at the end of the summer is 25/6 meters below sea level.
